[Llvm-bgq-discuss] bgclang r188569-20130816 on vesta/mira

[Hal Finkel]

Hi again,

I've updated the current install again. The change is only to the bgclang wrapper script; we needed to do a better job of disabling the new SLP vectorizer (I'm observing miscompiles).

[begin background]
LLVM currently has two SLP (superword-level parallelism, a.k.a. basic block) autovectorization passes. The first, which we now call the "aggressive" pass, was authored by yours truly, and we've had it for a while now. There is also a new SLP vectorizer, which should be less compile-time intensive, but currently still seems to have some problems.
[end background]

A -v3 archive is on the trac page for those maintaining independent installs.
